Yep, pretty much all of this is well known c100 years. Part of what made social welfare popular across europe. Whenever the UK forgets that, crime and riots go back up. Crime is caused by poverity and inequality. Countries that push back against inequality and poverity have crime reductions.
As if people that do have something to lose, try to not break the laws too much or too obvious.
As long as you have poor, horny and young male population you will always have high crime and organized crime (and some terrorists lately) will have no lack of recruits.
If high risk, high reward life of crime is the only shot at social status - the kids will take it.
